Hi Zopists, does anybody of you know how to do "subject" in Zope 2.3.0 (2.3.1) on Linux Debian. I have already installed M2Crypto but do not know how to use it. When I tried this in python: from M2Crypto import xmlrpclib2 s = xmlrpclib2.Server("https://uid:password@host/") print s.index_html() this error is returned: >>> print s.index_html() Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

Zope IOError messages
by Jérôme Loisel 01 May '01

01 May '01

Hello! After working on my website for a few hours, I sometimes start getting IOErrors from Zope in stupid_log_write. See the full message here: http://zope.levinux.org/ioerror.html This only happens when editing the site. Upon encountering this error once, all subsequent attempts at modifying the site (or even restarting Zope from the control panel) fail with the same error. Simply viewing the site, however, will continue working. This problem is does not crop up constantly, but it is not rare either. I work full-time on the website, and this IOError happens a few times a week. It seems to be happening more recently. (Maybe I should pack my database?) I would like to know why this happens and whether or not I can do something about it. The site is meant to be dynamic user-editable. I can manually restart the Zope server, but my users cannot. So this could easily turn into a big headache if the problem persists. Thank you very much in advance.

problem with External Methods
by marc lindahl 01 May '01

01 May '01

on 2.3.2 I just tried to add an External Method and got this error -- anyone have an idea? Seems like some stuff in ExternalMethod.py isn't getting initialized (for example, if I initialize func_defaults in the .py I'm trying to externalize, it gives another error, about func_code). Is there requirements of the .py, something that needs to be imported or whatever, for this product to work? Error listing: Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: func_defaults Troubleshooting Suggestions The URL may be incorrect. The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect. A resource that this resource relies on may be encountering an error. For more detailed information about the error, please refer to the HTML source for this page.

dtml-tree info
by Robert Segall 01 May '01

01 May '01

Hope someone has already run into this: I need to be able to control the tree display state from dtml and I can't find any info on the subject. The "normal" tree display has the "+" (or "-") part, with its own URL that includes an encoded argument, and the user-defined part. At the very least I would like to be able to mimic the behaviour of the "+" by clicking on the "user" part (which I make into a link by myself). To make matters worse, this link may take me to another object (page). Ideally, I would like to be able to control the display behaviour - saying which branch(es) are to be shown open and which closed, and to which level, within the page itself. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Tnx, Robert

[Ann] DocFinder 0.4: ask Zope about its documentation
by Dieter Maurer 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

DocFinder is a small tool that can ask Zope abouts its documentation. For any Zope object, it can reveal: * its class and this class' base classes (recursive) together with the classes doc strings. * all class attributes with name, permission, roles, signature (if any), doc string (if any) and type. New in DocFinder 0.4: If an object (method or ExtensionClass attribute) is protected by a permission, then the permission is shown. The display can be restricted to methods with names matching a regular expression. This way, you can quickly find specific methods of an object. DocFinder requires Zope 2.3. It will not work with earlier Zope versions. More information and download: URL:http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/DocFinder.html Dieter

RE: [Zope] writing dtml on zope.org

Uh. Bummer. I use DTML to dynamically generate my list of database links. I add a dtml method for each link and away we go. http://www.zope.org/Members/tfarrell/database/view_source I suppose I could do it by hand, but I thought that was one of the niceties of zope.

SecurityGetUser and Python scripts
by Steve Drees 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

The DTML reference for the zope book has this tidbit: SecurityGetUser() Return the current user object. This is normally the same as the REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER object. However, the AUTHENTICATED_USER object is insecure since it can be replaced. How would one access SecurityGetUser from a PythonScript? -- Steve Drees SysAdmin/Software Developer/Web Geek/Chief Bottle Washer "A problem well-stated is a problem half-solved." http://www.christianmp3zone.com/savanna

Hi Chris, Have you begun using the open source release with Python? I am going to look into it for sure - I am trying to find some performance data on it too.

Re: [Zope] Webdav - Microsoft Word - Zope
by Tino Wildenhain 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

Hi Fancois, if you open the object directly from web you arent using DAV. You are using your browsers standard HTTP GET which results in a read-only file (actually a copy of the object in your temp filesystem). If you want to edit, you have to use DAV explicitely either via "open as webfolder" (this can be attached to the explorer) or use to open fuction from Word. Erm.. if you dont get your users (and even administrators!) to be able to do such simple steps, they should probably keeped away from any computer ;)) HTH Tino --On Montag, 30.
